Last night, families and community members gathered at #CommunityHighSchool for an open Town Hall with Superintendent Mr. Harwell, an opportunity to get to know his background and experience, hear his vision for the future and share their thoughts about our schools.
🎯 One goal shared was clear: to become an Exemplary district. The conversation touched on accountability, #student schedules, academic opportunities, CTE, athletics and the many ways we can continue helping #students stay engaged, focused and successful. Most importantly, families had the opportunity to ask questions and share their perspectives.
And the conversation continues! 🗣️✨ Tonight, Mr. Harwell will be at #LibertySchool for another Town Hall.
There are three more opportunities to meet Mr. Harwell, ask questions and be part of the discussion. Check out the graphic for the full schedule and find a town hall that works for you! 💜💛
